olympic weight set with barbell.
bench.
probably a squat rack, but you may be able to get by cleaning the weight up and then front squating it for a while- until you can afford a cage or something. they are expensive.

Keep them around for curling or something. Once you get to putting 225 or so on a standard bar though, it doesn't like it much, and wobbling bars impact your lifts.
